Dave's right.
However, it should be mentioned that in order to avoid
implementation-quirks, a WAV's size should not exceed 2 GB (rather than
4 GB).
The reason for that is that some applications use a signed-, others an
unsigned-variable to handle the 4 byte size (This might not even be
consistent within the *same* application).
If you don't go beyond 2 GB, you're on the safe side.
